Flat Plan Adverts This is my first draft of the advert.I decidid that I really wanted the model to have a Lady Gaga style pose therefore I drew her to have her arm covering parts of her eye,I feel this reinforces the tittle of the album being "Pink Eyed Monster".I used very plain and bland colours for this first draft.This was from the inspiration of her album "The fame Monster" which uses very dark and bland colours.I decidid to go for this effect,however now I feel it would look alot better with colour. 
Second Draft-For this Digipak cover I decidid to inject more bold colours and have a different pose for the model.Although it looks alot brighter,I feel there needs to be more of a colour scheme instead of random colours.I feel the orange shade lashes with the blonde hair,therefore I will need to pick contrasting colours when picking my colour scheme.
Third Draft-My other two covers are fairly similar,therefore I wanted a very different approach.I decidid to have a image of the models eye shaded in pink,I feel this would relate to the name of the album "Pink Eyed Monster".I decidid to carry on this "spooky monster" theme ,so I added spider webs around the letters.I thought this would provide detail and link in well with the tittle and image.I kept the colours fairly simple,however if I choose this design I would probably have the words "Lady Gaga" in red to connote horror and gore.
Editing This is my editing stages on Photoshop.
This advert cover comforms the same genre (pop) as my chosen artist Lady Gaga.I can see this by the way Nelly has been photographed.The main attention is on his body, we can see this by the way glimmers of light is shinning on his body ,yet his face is looking away and in a shadow.Also, the image takes up 3/4 of the page which shows that his body is the main attention of the advert.The genre pop is very concerned with appearence therefore one of the main features of this cover is Nelly chest.The muscles are very tensed in this image which gives the impression of bigger muscles which adds to his looks appeal.I feel the audience of this advert is for a young people audience, I can tell this by the font being quite Hip and Cool looking.The thickness of the text is quite large which creates a very bold and strong approach to the cover, this could relate to the image by the way nelly is holding himself it creates the idea of body strength.Also, by having the text more larger gives a more mascueline feel to the text.I also feel the target audience of this advert cover is shown by the image, for example young men will want to aspire to be like nelly and have the same body/looks and attention.Also young men will look up to his masculinity for example the way he is holding himself and clenching his fist. On the otherhand young girls will see the advert cover and admire Nelly and feel attracted to him.There is a ongoing colour scheme used in this advert ,which are very manly colours black/blue and white.The advert uses persuasive language such as "new" and "hit singles".Also, the cover mentions other artists in the same genre which will be featuring in the album, this is persuasive as it is reminding the target audience the bonuses of buying the album and all of the "extras".
The stages I used on Photoshop are:
-A black background: I did this by creating a black shape in the size of the rectangle
-I then edited the main image. Firstly I used the gaussian blur to make the skin appear smoother, I then rubbed out the eyes/eyebrows/nose and mouth. I then added another layer of black on top of this image and rubbed out the corners to give a smoother line around the image.
- I then applied text , "Lady Gaga" being slightly larger to show that it is the focus of the advert
-I used the word "new" in a larger and bolder font to bring more attention to it
I am going to look at an advert of two artists in the same genre as my chosen artist.I will be looking at Katy Perry and Nelly as they are both in the same pop genre. 
Katie Perry's advert for the album"One of the boys" has a sweet childlike approach for example the paddling pool in the background with the two rubber ducks floating at the top connotes a sense of innorcence and childlike play.The cover uses bright vibrant colour such as pink/purple and blue these girly colours contrast to the tittle of the album "One of the Boys".Katy is dressed quite 50's style for example the high waisted shorts.The setting is a very iddylic and picturesque which adds to the innorcence and sweetness of the advert cover.Also, a colour pattern runs through this image for example the tittle of "One of the boys" is a pale blue which matches with the paddling pool and the blue sky.The white fence matches the text "The album Includes #1 smash hit 'I kissed A Girl' 22 September".The white also matches the clouds in the background.The pink colour of her top matches the pink words "Katy Perry".On the other hand the purple shorts contrast with all the colours which makes Katy stand out from the background.Persuasive language is used in this album for example "the #1 smash hit" , this rule of three works well together and reinforces the popularity of one of her songs."I kissed a girl" is in a slightly larger font,this was done to make the title seem eyecatching and for people to recognise the song and be more persuaded to buy the album.The words "Katy Perry" is in the largest font, this is for people to recognise the name and to show level of importance.The genre of this album cover is pop,we can tell this by the bright colours used and the cover looking fairly cheesy which relates to pop music.This advert uses a sweet and innorcent approach which relates to the target audience being young.
